+# Fix TestImportPath failing outside a folder literally named "specsync"
+
+## Why
+
+`TestImportPath` (import_path_test.go) is meant to guard doc.go's stated
+invariant — "the package lives at the module root, not under pkg/" — but it
+actually asserted something narrower and wrong: that the resolved package
+directory's *basename* ends in the literal string `"specsync"`
+(`strings.HasSuffix(pkg.Dir, "specsync")`). That's true for the primary clone
+(`/…/specsync`) but false for any git worktree named after its branch — this
+repo's own convention (`specsync-<change>`, e.g. this session's
+`specsync-design-notes`) — so the test fails in every worktree despite
+nothing being wrong with the package's location.
+
+## Proposed Changes
+
+- Compare the resolved package directory (`build.Import`'s `pkg.Dir`)
+  against the test binary's own working directory (`os.Getwd()`) instead of
+  a literal folder-name substring. `go test` always sets the process's
+  working directory to the package's source directory, so this checks the
+  actual invariant — resolving the canonical import path lands back at
+  wherever the package's files really are — regardless of what the
+  containing checkout or worktree happens to be named on disk.
+- The test still fails the way it's meant to: if the package were ever
+  relocated under `pkg/` while this test file moved with it, `build.Import`
+  either errors (no Go files left at the module root) or resolves to a
+  different directory than the moved test's own `cwd` — both are still
+  caught.
+
+## Release Notes
+
+Fixed `TestImportPath` failing in any git worktree not literally named
+"specsync" (e.g. this repo's own `specsync-<change>` worktree convention) —
+it now checks the actual module-root invariant instead of a folder-name
+string match.

+# Tasks
+
+- [x] Rewrite `TestImportPath` to compare `pkg.Dir` against `os.Getwd()`
+      instead of a literal `"specsync"` basename suffix check.
+      Validation: `go test ./...` passes with zero failures when run from a
+      worktree whose folder is not literally named "specsync".
